What’s Good
Detailed Showcasing Of The Wrongdoings
Rob Miller has managed to document brilliantly everything that went into bringing down Hunter Moore, founder of the popular revenge porn website ‘Is Anyone Up?’. Miller has managed to get women who had not spoken up about the horrific incident on camera ever before. Miller’s tenacity in getting every detail correctly showcased in this documentary makes you want to watch this over and over again.
The naming of the show as ‘The Most Hated Man On The Internet’ hits the bullseye. Despite being a long name, it’s perfect and managed to grab your attention right from the name itself.
Ryan Earl Parker’s cinematography and in many instances, the recreation of what happened in the real-life scenario, are simply brilliant. He has managed to bring forth so many nuances and intricacies to an already complicated case.
Alasdair Bayne and Jules Cornell’s editing is crisp and doesn’t allow you to even yawn for a bit. It’s well-paced throughout and in they have managed to keep the docuseries confined to 3 episodes, which is applause-worthy considering the complexity of the case.
What’s Bad
Non-Showcasing Of Hunter Moore’s Perspective
Hunter Moore didn’t agree to participate in the documentary despite having been contacted. As a viewer, it would have been great to hear his side of the argument as well. Otherwise, it seems like too much of a biased opinion.
Verdict
‘The Most Hated Man On The Internet’ is one of the best docuseries to have come up in recent times. It manages to show a world that not many in India were probably aware of. It gives a detailed representation of what went into bringing down Hunter Moore, the self-proclaimed ‘Professional Life Ruiner’. If you’re into docuseries’ this is surely a Must Watch. I am going with 4 stars.
